The Euphorbia ampliphylla is a striking succulent tree known for its impressive height and architectural form. It is often planted as an ornamental tree or as a natural barrier due to its thick, spiny branches. Unlike smaller, shrubby species, this one can dominate landscapes with its towering, segmented branches. 

Native to eastern Africa, particularly found in Ethiopia and surrounding regions, the Euphorbia ampliphylla is a large, tree-like succulent that can grow up to 30 feet tall. Its thick, green, columnar stems are ribbed and bear spines along the edges, giving it a cactus-like appearance.

The Euphorbia plant produces small, yellowish-green flowers that emerge from the tips of the stems.

These flowers are not particularly showy but play a crucial role in attracting pollinators, especially bees and other insects.

When it comes to care, the Euphorbia ampliphylla thrives in full sun to bright indirect light.

Outdoors, it should be placed in an area with plenty of direct sunlight, while indoors, a south-facing window is ideal. 

It does well in typical household temperatures but should be kept in a warm environment above 50°F. 

Like most drought-tolerant plants, it requires infrequent watering. Water deeply but allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.

It prefers a well-drained, specialized  succulent soil, opens in a new tab, sandy, or rocky soil. Adding perlite or pumice can improve drainage. A diluted succulent fertilizer can be applied once a year during the growing season in the spring. 

It is best suited for USDA zones 10-12, where temperatures remain warm year-round.

It is not frost-tolerant and should be brought indoors if temperatures drop below freezing. 

Euphorbia ampliphylla can be propagated through stem cuttings, though caution is required due to its toxic sap.

Cuttings should be left to callous for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Propagation from seeds is also possible but less common due to the slow growth rate. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Euphorbia ampliphylla is a fascinating and dramatic succulent tree that adds height and structure to xeriscapes, desert gardens, or indoor collections. Its resilience, low-maintenance nature, and unique appearance make it a desirable choice for enthusiasts who appreciate bold, sculptural plants. With proper care, this striking Euphorbia can become a long-lived and rewarding addition to any arid plant collection.

REALLY CUTE SHOE BUT CUT WAY TOO SMALL!
Size: 8, Color: Black Patent
I received the black patent leather shoes today and they are so cute! Sadly I need to return them because they are cut way too small. I normally wear a 7.5 or 8 on dress shoes so I ordered the 8. They are so tight across the top that it's uncomfortable as soon as I put them on. They are smaller than a normal size 8 dress shoe. The big toe area is extremely uncomfortable because it doesn't allow any room for it at all, so my big toe just presses against the side and end of the shoe without even walking in them. I have very narrow feet and these still are too small for me. So I am returning them and I already ordered a 8.5 W and hope that will fit much better. The patent leather is very cute and adds just enough dressy that I can wear them with slacks or my Capri jeans. I like the slip on and the cushion foot bed because it feels soft.

Love these flats!
Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black White Faux Snake Skin, Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black White Faux Snake Skin
One of my favorite pair of flats! I’ve had these for several years and they are still comfortable, in good shape and really add a little spice to my outfits. I can wear these all day and not have any foot pain or discomfort as a result. The quality is good, fit is perfect and I tend to have difficulty with shoes due to bunions. Love these!!

Great buy
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black Faux Leather
I absolutely love these Amazon Essentials Belice Ballet Flats! They are so comfortable right out of the box and fit my feet perfectly. I can wear them all day without my feet hurting, which is hard to find with flats sometimes. They’re also really cute and go with almost everything I wear. I find myself reaching for them all the time because they’re both comfy and pretty. Definitely a great everyday shoe, especially for the price!
